30 First Dates by Stacey Wiedower is a romantic comedy. Erin Crawford has a bit of a vendetta. She doesn’t have any luck whatsoever in her relationships and she decides that the time is right to start a new blog, one called “30 First Dates.” The idea is that Erin will go out on 30 dates with 30 different men before she reaches the age of 30. It’s her way of trying to find a man who isn’t a complete jerk and her adventures make for interesting reading on her blog. Sometimes her dates are funny, sometimes just plain sad. Erin has a bucket list as well, 30 things to do before she turns 30 so she combines it with her 30 dates. In just over a year, Erin goes skydiving, she visits loads of different cities, goes skinny dipping, crashes a wedding and so much more. As her 30th birthday approaches fast, the bucket list is shrinking, but will Erin really be able to find the one thing she wants – true love?
30 First Dates by Stacey Wiedower is a fun book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well laid out with amazingly funny characters, and with a nice touch of reality about the whole story. It has humour, sadness, emotion, embarrassment, everything that you could possibly want in a romantic comedy. Right from the start, the story is an attention-grabber and you just don’t want to put it down. You have to know what’s going to happen on the next date and if Erin really will find the love she so richly deserves. The story and the characters were fully developed and you really felt as if you could identify with them. I’m sure that there are lots of women – and men – who have found themselves in this position and you have to wonder how they came out of it. Captivating story, I really enjoyed this book.
